Langkawi Trip

This time my family was not following me to Langkawi. So, since the begining, I have told myself, I must get something for this trip. It has been a long time that I never go alone backpack to travel around. Seems odd for others, especially when I was having my meal alone, sun bathing alone, going for shopping alone, jogging alone, 'spaing' alone, walk alone, and many many alone... In fact, not alone, I brought a book along. This book accompany me for the whole trip.
This's not my first time to stay in this resort. Few years ago, I went there with my wife. My chalet was on the hill. So, I need to take shuttle, although I enjoy walking, but at night, it's better to take shuttle coz there are many monkeys jumping around. Who knows the monkey suddenly hug you from the back just to say hello to you!
The open air spa and massage was my 1st experience. Especially the signature massage, really realease my tension and pressure. Luckily there were not so many guests utilising the facilities there, so I can monopoly the jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath and also the waiting lounge enjoying the ginger tea. Taste special.
Since it is a free trade island, so the chocolate and liquer are very cheap over here. Everybody sure will buy few bags of chocolate and liquer to enjoy it. Me too but of course not the liquer la.
I love to jog, so 2 morning I went for jogging along the tracks and also the platform along the beach chalets. Mat Salleh, Japanese, Korean and local tourists were friendly and polite. Perhaps they feel that I am enjoying my life over here or I am crazy jogging early in the morning alone. And I do!
3 days 2 nights stay was not long. But I really enjoy it! I will be back again! With my family this time.
